Answer:

Explanation:
Let the sphere is uniformly charge to radius "r" and due to this charged sphere the electric potential on its surface is given as

now we can say that


now electric potential is given as


now work done to bring a small charge from infinite to the surface of this sphere is given as


here we know that

now the total energy of the sphere is given as




I believe there should be some sort of table attached. Unfortunately I cannot answer this question. Sorry!
Answer:
electrons
Explanation:
The magnitude of the electric field outside an electrically charged sphere is given by the equation

where
k is the Coulomb's constant
Q is the charge stored on the sphere
r is the distance (from the centre of the sphere) at which the field is calculated
In this problem, the cloud is assumed to be a charged sphere, so we have:
is the maximum electric field strength tolerated by the air before breakdown occurs
is the radius of the sphere
Re-arranging the equation for Q, we find the maximum charge that can be stored on the cloud:

Assuming that the cloud is negatively charged, then

And since the charge of one electron is

The number of excess electrons on the cloud is
